Mike Vick is the most hated sports figure, two years running
Posted by Mike Florio on June 19, 2010 4:25 PM ET
Last year, quarterback Mike Vick topped a Forbes poll of the most hated persons in sports.

This year, he can crack the champagne again.

Vick has landed at No. 1 for a second straight year, even though he largely has become irrelevant as a backup quarterback and part-time gimmick option for the Eagles.

In 2009, no one connected to the NFL other than Vick landed in the top ten. This year, the NFL holds four out of the top five spots. We're not sure whether it's evidence of a sign of growing fan discontent against pro football -- or whether it's further proof that no sports league inflames passion like the NFL.

We'll pick the latter. But it would be wise for the league and the NFLPA to at least consider the possibility that it's the former.

That surprises me that Vick is apparently still hated that much by that many people.

We were going to name our new baby boy "Ben", but now we are going to have to go with "O.J.".

I thought the goat-rapist from the NE was leading the list. Yeah, recent docs show the goats were held & made love 2 against their wishes by Tommy the Goat-kid.

Where is Tom Brady ? If that list was made by the the Steeler Universe people , he would be # 1 , lol

Steelers were once a respected franchise, but getting rid of holmes and keeping ben shows they believe in double standards...

Have no respect for them or any of their fans or the city.....

Scum bag, scum organization, scum city........

Did someone bother to remind that dimwit Spiller that the main difference between Ben and Holmes was that Holmes actually has a criminal record and failed a drug test, while Ben has never been charged with anything and has never failed any drug tests? Holmes was also given multiple opportunities to clean up his act, but still continued to make boneheaded decisions. Funny how the haters conveniently overlook that.

:upyours: anyway, Spiller21.

They'll all hate Ben more when he wins us another couple Super Bowls, and maybe next time we win it the writers will have the intellectual honesty to award Ben the MVP award he was cheated out of last time.

But no matter, he's Canton bound and jerks like Pete Prisco and John Steigerwald can choke on it for the balance of their mediocre writing careers.

Amazing that Vick is still number one. Usually to be the number one anything, even most hated, you have to be in the news. Ben and Tiger Woods have been the topic of 1000 times more discussions than Vick. Vick hasn't been relevant for years yet he is still the most reviled sports figure of all. Don't mess with animals, pet owners will never forgive you.

There was a hockey coach? who sexually assaulted his daughter. Didn't see his name. The way the poll was worded probably affected voting. There are great players I hate (Brady and any other Patriots) and there are sleazy, dirtbags. Both types shouldn't be on the same list.

That was Mark Hardy, formerly of the L.A. Kings. He resigned last week. If he was in any other league but the NHL, it would have been all over the news, both sports and mainstream.
